One by one they began
to file in..
Finally! The Poet's
Corner gathering was
commencing..
I stood on a high terrace
of the castle just gazing
in amazement..
The court Magicians were
ready to spin their magic
Against the still black of
a moonlit sky an endless
line of torches lighted
the cobble stoned pathway
The words of the poets were
inscribed on the massive stones
of the castle walls
The elegant curtains swayed
gently from my terrace arched
window as the music grew louder
The court musicians were attended
by an army of the knight's finest
drummers
The huge round tables were set
by two hundred maidens dressed
in white satin and scarlet sash
A mystic glow reflected off the
castle walls from the ruby studded
gold candle holders that was placed
on each table
Then one by one old friends began
to embrace as if soul-mates rejoined
Tears of joy fell to the red carpet
as a shout from the royal guard
signaled the blast from the trumpets
It would be a seven day feast of
dancing and endless merry-making
The poets had come home..
We were together at last~
